Hamilton South 92 Kemp Street
Exquisite Period Residence with Glamorous Renovation
Absolutely beautiful and extraordinarily rare, this period home with Spanish Mission style facade is a resplendent example of its era and a standout in prized Kemp Street. On first impressions, barley twist columns, arched leadlight windows, ornate fireplaces, memorable ceilings, and stucco double brick walls all make a dramatic statement. An interior-design led renovation and extension marks a new style chapter with an alluring blend of period architecture and contemporary glamour. Flowing over a spacious single level, the Mediterranean inspired alfresco and gardens at the rear are a lesson in relaxed indoor/outdoor entertaining, while the stunning island kitchen forms the centrepiece of the open plan family living and dining area. From the gas fired sitting room, to the large walk-in robe and five-star bathroom, the parents' retreat is truly a sanctuary in which to rest and relax. The private backyard studio creates versatile extra accommodation for teens, visiting guests, or a quiet space to work from home. This section of Hamilton South is coveted by many, less than 500m to the heart of The Junction where you can buy your morning coffee, browse the local specialty shops and boutiques or dine out at one of its many eateries. A choice of schools including Hamilton South Public, St Joseph's Primary and Newcastle Grammar are close by and there's no shortage of parks and playgrounds to explore, and Bar Beach or Merewether for a swim or surf.
